front of the university building. Chancel-
lor Garland addressed the president, ex-
pressing the pleasure it gave to all con-
nected with the institution to welcome
him. When the Maxwell house was
reached Mrs. Cleveland and her escort
alighted and entered the hotel, in whose
spacious and beautifully adorned parlors
she held a reception to the ladies of Nash

expression of the hospitality of this section
and that of Hon. A. s. Colyer, editor of the

tribute to the character Of the president
In his reply the president showed his usual
familiarity with the good points of the
city's location, resources and history.
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 18.-At III o'clock
President Collins and vice President
Grady of the exposition called at the
presidents rooms and escorted the presi-
dent and party to the capitol, where they
entered the governors room and were re-
ceived by Governor Gordon. The visiting
governors, the supreme court of this state.
members of the governors staff, United
States officials, municipal authorities
and members of the legislature were pre-
sented to the city's guests. This ceremo-
nial over, the distinguished visitors were
escorted to Piedmont park, which is the
exposition grounds. The national salute
was fired as the procession entered the
gates. Mr.. H. w. Grady, vice-president of
the exposition. in a brief, but eloquent
speech, extended welcome to the presi-
dent. The president, in his reply, reviewed
the wonderful growth Of Atlanta and the
heroic courage of its citizens after it had
been devastated by both the federal and
confederate forces.
The public reception at the exposition
grounds was pleasant affair. No at
tempt was made to shake the hands of the
passers by. The visitors were then con-
Quoted to the club house of the gentlemen's
driving club, where lunch was served.
The gentlemen of the party dined with
Governor Gordon this evening. At the
same hour Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Villas
were entertained at dinner by Mrs. R. 81.
Porter, some of the first society ladies of
Atlanta being invited to meet them. This
evening the entire party attended recep-
tion by the Capital City club from to IL
o'clock. From their starting out this
morning until midnight the president
and wife have been the recipi-
ents of an ovation. A bed to-
night is worth a princes ransom and
many a man and woman accustomed
to all the luxuries of life find it difficult to
meet demands of present hunger. Even
some of the invited guests from other
states have remained uncared for. A local
paper is authority for the statement that
confederate flag is among the decorations
of the town. It says: AT No. IL Wheat
street floats once more on the breezes the
red, white and red with thirteen stars, that
emblem of the dead confederacy. Some
kind hand decorated the picture of the
great chieftain, Hon. Jefferson Davis, with
confederate colors. Old soldiers when
they pass by take off their hats and in their
hearts all southerners do him
reverence. Last night not long
after the arrival of the president
at his rooms in the hotel ferocious per-
sonage approached the door and being
denied admission by the sentinel placed
there by the governors order, said in a
tone apparently intended to be heard by
the president: Il wish you would inform
Mr.. Cleveland that if Georgians are to be
barred out from shaking hands with the
president of the United States by sabres at
his chamber, by God, sir, he had better 60
back to Washington. Jeff Davis will be
here next week and there'll be no sabres
between him and the gentlemen of
Georgia" The president did not hear him
The matter has got abroad tonight and the
utterance is condemned as that of man
who was momentarily irresponsible.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 19.-The day has
been rainy throughout. President and
Mrs. Cleveland entered their flower-be-
decked carriages at II o'clock and with an
escort of cavalry and artillery made their
way through the muddy streets to the ex-
position grounds miles away. There were
probably forty thousand uncomfortable
beings waiting there who made brave but
not very successful efforts to cheer the
city's guests and who changed wearily
from point to point in the rain,
SEARCHING FOR GROUND
to stand upon. 1t was sadly depressing
spectacle. The procession moved slowly
around the race track and brought up in
front of the grand stand where it was in
tended that the distinguished party should
alight, but the president determined not to
venture. His carriage was then driven
close to the inner railing and there he
awaited the passage of the troops in re-
view. There was delay Of one mortal
hour before anything happened. At last
discharge of bombs, burst of music and
the troops, perhaps thousand men, came

PRESIDENT,
who stood up in his carriage and held his
umbrella over him to receive them. When
the column had passed the carriage was
